Requirements for Human Subject Protection Training

WIRB requires investigators to verify on the Initial Review Submission Form that each member of the research team has successfully completed training in human research subject protection. Your institution may have additional training requirements, please check with your institutional official. Please note that HIPAA training or prior research experience alone do not satisfy this requirement for training in human subject protection.

WIRB accepts training completed in a variety of formats (e.g., online modules, live seminars, college courses, self-study texts that provide CEU or CME credit) and from a variety of sources (e.g., government entities, non-profit institutions, professional organizations, and commercial businesses).   Click here for a sampling of training resources.
